Why Headwater?

We are dedicated to professionally managing, educating, supporting and servicing each client every step of the way. To learn about our firm's philosophy, watch the video below.

Our Proprietary Process

To address our clients' evolving needs and concerns, we developed a proprietary process called The MosaIQ Method. Our process intelligently arranges your financial pieces in such a way to create a unique picture of your ideal life.

It is designed to continually monitor your critical life and financial events and adjust to keep your plan on track. The MosaIQ Method ensures we never lose sight of the two elements essential to achieving financial independence - the things that matter and the things we can control.

To learn about the MosaIQ Method, watch our video.

Finding Efficiency in Inefficient Markets

Our proprietary investment research seeks to identify investments demonstrating an ability to produce better returns relative to the risk needed to generate them. We call this efficiency. Our research calculates numerical factors using daily price changes for each security we analyze so they can be effectively compared to both similar and dissimilar investments. By using daily factors, the research can pick up on trends and shifts in market movements. These factors provide valuable insight as to which investments either remain in, removed from or added to portfolios.
